The bottle of \u003cstrong\u003e100 capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e, 58 g net, covers more than three months at one capsule a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-synephrine is a molecule found naturally in the bitter orange fruit. To give a sense of scale: the manufacturer states that \u003cstrong\u003eone litre of bitter orange juice contains between 15 and 27 mg of it\u003c\/strong\u003e, where a capsule delivers 19.8 mg in standardised form. That is the most useful comparison for understanding what you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the composition fits in three lines: a \u003cstrong\u003egelatine\u003c\/strong\u003e capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose as a bulking agent and magnesium stearate as an anti-caking agent. \u003cstrong\u003eAs the capsule shell is made of gelatine, the product is suitable for neither vegetarians nor vegans.\u003c\/strong\u003e It joins our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-en-gelules\"\u003efat burners in capsules\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/gammes-io-genix\"\u003eIO Genix\u003c\/a\u003e sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in one capsule?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer capsule\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer bottle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e% NRV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitter orange dry extract (\u003cem\u003eCitrus aurantium\u003c\/em\u003e L.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eno NRV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eof which p-synephrine (standardised to 6%)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.8 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.98 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eno NRV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: capsule shell (gelatine), bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), anti-caking agent (magnesium stearate). Pack size: 100 capsules, 58 g net. No energy value is declared and, at this scale, it is negligible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA point of vocabulary first, because it accounts for half the comparison mistakes made in this category: \u003cstrong\u003e330 mg is the weight of the extract, 19.8 mg the weight of the active molecule.\u003c\/strong\u003e A label that advertises “500 mg of bitter orange” without giving a standardisation figure tells you nothing at all. It is the second number you should look for, every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat figure of 19.8 mg is anything but arbitrary, and it is the most important point on this page. \u003cstrong\u003eANSES has published an opinion on food supplements intended for athletes containing synephrine and recommends not exceeding 20 mg of synephrine per day\u003c\/strong\u003e, avoiding combination with caffeine and not consuming it during intense physical exercise. This product sits just under that limit, which is to its credit — but it also means \u003cstrong\u003ethere is no margin at all: one capsule only, never two\u003c\/strong\u003e, and nothing else alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn effects, the framework is unambiguous: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for synephrine or for bitter orange.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not on weight, not on fat, not on energy, not on appetite. So you will read no promise here, not even one phrased indirectly. The “fat burner” label used in our sections is a \u003cstrong\u003ecommercial category name, not a description of an effect\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you take Synephrine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 capsule a day, never more. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e a large glass of water. \u003cstrong\u003eWhen:\u003c\/strong\u003e in the morning on waking. \u003cstrong\u003eHow often:\u003c\/strong\u003e one intake a day. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e the manufacturer sets no precise duration but recommends a periodic break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne discrepancy has to be flagged, and we will not pass over it in silence. \u003cstrong\u003eThe manufacturer suggests taking it “before training”; the ANSES opinion, on the contrary, recommends avoiding the consumption of synephrine during intense physical exercise.\u003c\/strong\u003e Between the two, we follow ANSES: \u003cstrong\u003etake the capsule in the morning, well away from your session\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the advice we give over the counter, and it deliberately differs from the leaflet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond instruction, and this one is absolute: \u003cstrong\u003enever combine this product with another source of caffeine or stimulant\u003c\/strong\u003e without medical advice. That includes coffee, tea, energy drinks and above all pre-workouts, which commonly contain 200 to 350 mg of caffeine. The manufacturer says so, and so does ANSES: on this point there is no debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer also advises against taking it late in the day, so as not to disturb sleep. With 100 capsules in the bottle, it covers more than three months — so plan the breaks it recommends rather than running through it without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this product for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at healthy adults engaged in a structured \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e approach who want a single active ingredient with its standardisation stated. On that last point, the label is exemplary: one extract, one standardisation figure, one active molecule content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe list of contraindications is one of the longest in the catalogue, and it needs to be read in full.\u003c\/strong\u003e The product is not recommended for \u003cstrong\u003epregnant or breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003echildren and adolescents\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epeople on medical treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e, or people suffering from \u003cstrong\u003ecardiovascular disorders, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, prostate adenoma, depression or thyroid disorders\u003c\/strong\u003e. If any one of these applies to you, this product is not for you, and that is not negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eneither vegetarians nor vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e, as the shell is made of gelatine. Traces of \u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN (wheat and oats), NUTS, PEANUT, EGG, MILK, FISH and SOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e are possible. Nor is it for you if you drink coffee during the day or already take a caffeinated \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003epre-workout booster\u003c\/a\u003e: stacking stimulants is precisely what the health authorities ask you to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it, and we will be blunt: \u003cstrong\u003ethis product does not make you lose weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e No claim exists, which means no European authority has validated any effect. Nor is it a pre-workout, or an appetite suppressant. If your calorie deficit is not in place, this bottle will change absolutely nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSynephrine or a stimulant-free fat burner?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the real choice in this category, and it does not come down to effectiveness — neither family has an authorised claim — but to the balance between constraints and sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free fat burner\u003c\/a\u003e cannot be felt and imposes no constraints: no timing to respect, no stacking to watch, no cardiovascular contraindication. It is the better choice for the vast majority of people, and by far the safest. You will feel nothing at all, which is precisely the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynephrine belongs to the other family, the actives with a stimulant effect, like the thermogenics in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-de-graisse\"\u003efat burners\u003c\/a\u003e section. It is only of interest in one specific case: you want a single active, dosed below the threshold recommended by ANSES, with no caffeine added to the formula — which leaves you in full control of your other intakes. That is a genuine advantage over a complete thermogenic in which caffeine is imposed on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advice we actually give over the counter: if you drink coffee, walk on by. And if you are going to add a single supplement during a deficit, take a \u003cstrong\u003eprotein\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a fat burner — protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass is an authorised claim, and that is what a diet really hinges on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 19.8 mg of p-synephrine a lot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is just under the threshold of 20 mg a day recommended by ANSES for synephrine in supplements intended for athletes. In other words: the dose is set at the maximum of what is advised, and there is no margin. One capsule a day, never two, and nothing else alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a coffee or a pre-workout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer advises against it and ANSES recommends avoiding the combination of synephrine with caffeine. A pre-workout commonly delivers 200 to 350 mg of caffeine: stacking is exactly what should be avoided. On this specific point, there is no room for compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould it be taken before training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer suggests it, but ANSES recommends avoiding the consumption of synephrine during intense physical exercise. We follow ANSES: take the capsule in the morning, well away from your session. It is a deliberate departure from the leaflet, and we would rather explain it than keep quiet about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between 330 mg and 19.8 mg?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first figure is the weight of the plant extract, the second the weight of the p-synephrine it contains, at a standardisation of 6%. It is the second one you should compare from one product to another. A label that gives an extract weight without a standardisation figure allows no comparison at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than three months, at one capsule a day for 100 capsules. The manufacturer recommends periodic breaks rather than uninterrupted use: plan them from the outset rather than running straight through to the last tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the shell is made of gelatine of animal origin. The contents, on the other hand, are indeed a plant extract of bitter orange. The manufacturer also reports possible traces of gluten, nuts, peanut, egg, milk, fish and soya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are there so many contraindications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause synephrine is an active with a stimulant effect, structurally close to molecules that act on the cardiovascular system. The manufacturer rules out in particular cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, prostate adenoma, depression and thyroid disorders. That list is not decorative: read it before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to buy IO Genix Synephrine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle of 100 capsules can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. Three months per bottle: this is a purchase that belongs to the long run, not to a moment of impulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product in front of which we ask three questions before selling: do you drink coffee, are you on any medication, and what time do you train? A single wrong answer is enough to put it back on the shelf, and that happens often.
